This $585,115 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to develop multi-century records of the Florida Current and its sources. The award will enable researchers at the American Museum of Natural History to utilize previously collected coral samples to reconstruct annual changes in the Florida Current over the past 200-300 years. This work aims to better understand the natural variability and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,999 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) for the project "EMBRACE-OCE-SEED: Variability and Trends in Agulhas Current Water Mass Properties." The project aims to quantify changes in water mass transports within the Agulhas Current, a major western boundary current in the South Indian Ocean, using high-quality repeat hydrographic data collected from 1987-2023. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,001 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. The grant, titled "C-STREAMS: The Gulf Stream Control of the North Atlantic Carbon Sink", aims to quantify and understand the source waters that feed the Gulf Stream, measure and model the processes that modify the nutrients and carbon carried by the Gulf Stream, and understand how the Gulf...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the interactions between internal waves and submesoscale currents in the ocean's bottom boundary layer. The total award is $418,382 over a period of 3 years, from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027. The research will combine theoretical concepts, analyses of existing measurements, and computer modeling to assess how these wave-current interactions affect mixing and...
The University of Florida was awarded a three-year, $285,458 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research on combined waves and currents over multi-scale topography, from boundary layer dynamics to parameterization. As outlined in the program description, the Geosciences program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $260,071 to Rutgers, The State University to investigate water mass transformation processes in the Caribbean Sea. The research aims to improve understanding of how the Caribbean sea's role in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and associated heat transport are impacted by spatial heterogeneity in mesoscale eddies, complex bathymetry, and wind stress curl variability. The...
